Question
Can a 13-year-old still grow taller? My menstruation started during the summer vacation of 5th and 6th grades, can I still grow to 1.6 meters from junior high to senior high? I’m currently in 7th grade. Previous treatment and effects: Will there be inheritance from generations? Mom is 1.53 meters tall, Dad is 1.63 meters tall. Desired assistance: Solve the problem, urgent, urgent.
Answer
Based on the parents’ heights, the estimated inherited height is about 1.51 meters. To grow taller, one should consume a rich diet, ensure adequate sleep, and intake necessary trace elements and vitamin D, while also engaging in physical activities such as ice skating, playing basketball, reaching for heights, skipping rope, and jumping rope, all of which can help with growth. If you are not satisfied with your current height, it is recommended to visit the growth and development department for a bone age test to check if the epiphyses have fused. If they have not fused, growth hormone therapy can be used for intervention treatment.
